Because of the bug of my leader's ability(Nifgaard),I lose the game.The ability is that taking the card on the row back and replay it,however the card disappeared .This is a good game,but I don't want to face the problem again.
Played extensively on console before coming here. Fun game and doesn't have a ton of RNG, which is refreshing and certainly doesn't remind me of Witcher 3's Gwent, which is okay imo.
My major issue is that the developers tend to develop one faction at a time which leads to imbalance everytime they release a new expansion and that they don't seem to consider frustration when designing. I mean NG might be okay win rate wise but if people auto quit vs the faction consistently, that points to a design issue. You can't frustrate your playerbase by not allowing them to play the game too much or they'll go play something else and that's something the devs need to consider.
DISCLAIMER: I haven't played the game nearly enough to judge all of its aspects. As a result, this will be more of a first impressions sort of review.
I never understood nor enjoyed Gwent inside of The Witcher 3 but when I bought Thronebreaker a couple months back, I decided to give this a go and finally say I've played at least a little of every Witcher game in my collection. I was pleased to see that this version of the game plays the same that it does in Thronebreaker, rather than the way it does in The Witcher 3. The Witcher 3 version of the game wasn't well-explained and was quite frustrating but in Thronebreaker and this version of the game, they both do a great job of explaining its mechanics.
I'm terrible at card games like this; the only one I ever did even slightly okay in was The Elder Scrolls Legends but I was pretty bad there, too. However, as far as card games go, this one is definitely among the best. The mechanics make the game feel less like a Hearthstone copy and more like a game of its own. It also manages to go beyond FEELING like a card game, giving the player the sensation of commanding a battle. This makes the game more appealing to me.
As I said, I haven't played enough to fairly judge every aspect but from what I can tell, the game's monetization is fair and consumer-friendly. I never felt pushed to purchase anything. I also loved how I got some rewards in Gwent by playing the other Witcher games (particularly Thronebreaker). This isn't a surprise, given CDPR's reputation for crafting an exceedingly consumer-oriented business model but still, it's always nice when you see it.
To conclude, if you are a fan of card games, chances are that you'll love this game. If you aren't normally a fan but enjoyed it in The Witcher 3, then you'll probably enjoy it a little here and there. If you didn't like it even in The Witcher 3, still give it a go as I didn't care for the original version but I've come to enjoy this version here and there.
Update download is not fast enough in GOG.So I sigh up to GAEA.But now GWENT in Steam is available .Can we Chinese Got a chance transform to National server?
Easy to get new cards in free to play, cosmetis are the only really paid thing. This is very important for a card ecosystem to allow competition and new strategies. The only limit in gwent is how good you are.
Then how good is the card game itself, incredible. Deep strategies many types of leadres lead to different way to play even within factions all boosted by the really good cards that synergize with each other.
No matter you card play style this game will have you covered.
